<div dir="ltr">Hi Rolandas<div><br></div><div>I understand your frustration, specially if you have invested time and effort in setting up a self-service portal based on the OCCI interface. Just wanted to share with you the rationale behind that decision:</div>
<div><br></div><div>1.- First this is a structural decision and not a functionality one. This is, we've replaced the OCCI interface (self-service) with Sunstone (sunstone-views), but just to provide the same self-provisioning capability. As this is the first release there may be some self-service features that lag behind.</div>
<div><br></div><div>2.- Although there are some functional regressions, that in most cases can be workaround'ed, the new component is more flexible and gives more functionality in other aspects. Just to mention a few of them: integration with app-flow, fine-grained definition of the provisioning schema, support for the full set of actions, better support for VDC...</div>
<div><br></div><div>3.- OpenNebula is growing in all aspects: community, user base and also in code. We are seeing a lot of fragmentation in other open source projects, you mentioned OpenStack. We do not want OpenNebula to become a fragmented set of components with a heterogeneous quality and support cycles. Maintaining and improving one component is better than working on two; and it is easier to present a coherent release cycle, roadmap, and support policy.</div>
<div><br></div><div>4.- We are strongly committed to other's people work. Backward compatibility has been always the first thing to consider when making a decision in OpenNebula. There are some asymmetries in OpenNebula as some of you have pointed out, we've always preferred to deal with them rather than breaking third party components.</div>
<div><br></div><div>5.- It was difficult to replace Self-service with OCCI (we've also dropped a significant amount of work). If you still need it, we are releasing briefly 3.8.4 (service-pack) a kind of LTS of OpenNebula 3 series. That will be supported so you can keep your systems in 3.8 till Sunstone Views levels with the Self service functionality that you are missing.</div>

When I start OCCI Server - everything seems to be OK (no error messages in<br>

When I try to connect to OCCI server:port, the following error appears:<br>

The 3.x self-service portal was replaced with the new OpenNebula Sunstone<br>
views [1]. This is a new feature that allows you to customize the UI for<br>
different users or user groups, so the interface implements the<br>
provisioning model for each role. Sunstone ships with two predefined views<br>
admin and user, but you can create your own views.<br>

2 steps forward, 1 step back. Self-service functionality could probably be defined in sunstone 4.0, but not exists in opennebula 4.0.1 source yet (It was removed in 4.0 but nothing similar was added).<br>
<br>

<br>
P.S. OpenStack is different by design but have many good points also.<br>
